Latest Craze
For those who didn't know, these are the hottest things on the shelf lately for little boys. Why? They're cute, different, and the boys can trade them.
Other than that, I can see no additional use, either fun or educational, so enjoy while the novelty has not worn off.
Bakugan-Mania
MODERN DAY GAME OF MARBLES
The Bakugan-Mania is here. I had no idea what my daughter was talking about since she spoke a mile-a-minute about what the latest craze in children's toys. These items are in extremely high demand and are similar in genre to Pokemon cards, Yu-Gi-Yo, and Digimon. The characters appear to be a spin off from Japanese anime, in my perception.
My daughter's after-school care has an Bakugan Class where children play in the afternoon. She is 7 years old but her friends who have it range from 6 to 10 years old.
This game represents a unique and revolutionary spin on the game of playing marbles. It is quite creative and superficially complex to play. However, many children are compelled to play it all over the country.
Educational value
Strangely, enough, this toy has an ACTUAL educational value by requiring the players to add up or subtract the values of each figure/card.
Safety and Caveats
Since these are essentially small marbles, caution should be exercised if you child has small siblings who may try to swallow this toy. It is too big to fit into someone's ear or nose; however the danger is accidentally swallowing it or aspiration (going into the child's airway). You should also be aware if you have pets since it may lead to a dangerous bowel obstruction if ingested/eaten by your pet.
Hot toy right now
Based on the TV show my son wanted some of these. He really enjoys this toy and has asked for more for his birthday. They are like little magnetic marbles that pop open into a figure.
